Well too bad FedEx IT culd not spend some time addressing the real problem instead of spending man hours and dollars on this stupid fix.
The good thing is it really is not that great of a fix. Ever try to buy tickets on TicketMaster where you have to enter a word and numbers. The characters look funny for a reason, so a program can not recognize them and enter them for you.
I only hope that the authors of the programs spend a little of their man hours and automate it again. It can be done. I know I am asking them to give up there free time, but I would like them to poke FedEx in the eye with the stick and then maybe FedEx will address the real issues.
Someone out there is smart enough to do it and the bots will be back at work again soon. Ifr they are available to the masses or not who knows. I certainly appreciate the work that was put into making BidX a valuable program. If one guy can do it on his spare time absolutely no reason FedEx can't fix it. Management lurkers are you listening?
